I was really impressed, was expecting something really bad. but Konata's voice was pretty good for her character, not as good as Aya's but still perfect for her character. I still have a problem on other characters though especially Kagami's and Miyuki's.

wow, of all the voices i thought i would dislike konata's the most. but it was good! tsukasa sounded good too. miyuki was about how i expected, typical moe-blob stuff. kagamis voice didnt really take for me though. still, on the whole, not bad at all.

The day *Insert semi-obscure anime here (The list is probably huge)* makes it onto TV.

Lucky Star is not something a lot of normal TV watchers on this side would get into. The chances of it making it onto some anime block is slim to none. If Haruhi Suzumiya makes it onto TV (Or one of the other slice-of-life shows, like AzuDai, or maybe Pani Poni Dash), then maybe there'll be a bigger chance. Or if there's some kind of Bandai special on CN showcasing its properties.

Since you mentioned AzuDai and PPD specifically, I believe both have been cable-broadcast or internet-streamed on ADV's TheAnimeNetwork (at least according to the listings at Anime News Network); there *are* other venues than Cartoon Network/Adult Swim (MTV2, Fuse, IFC, Starz, etc have all run anime in the recent past), and I believe TheAnimeNetwork actually has aired non-ADV titles as well.

I meant THE prime time thing like adult swim. AnimeNetwork doesn't count for me since it's the anime channel that's not readily available. The rest are oddities, though probably could be covered by my "Special" thing.

I don't watch real TV (No access to one and anime shows too late at night for me on a regular basis), so I don't know.

Okay... voice casting is "better than I expected" although I'm a bit tired of that reedy high pitched voice they keep casting for the "Miyuki" characters -- it just sounds false.
The rest.... sound like they fit the parts fairly nicely. We didn't get any clips of "growly" Kagami or the range of Konata though for final estimates.

The real kicker for the english dub will be the SCRIPT and the COMEDIC TIMING.

Frankly, I'll still prefer the original but it does look like I can show this to "dub prone" people and it won't be a total mystery to them what I like about it.

Are there any videos of an actual Lucky Star dubbing session? Hard to believe that no one's even tried to, knowing how photog-crazed most are in Japan! I'd also like to compare Aya Hirano's normal voice with those of the characters she plays.
